Education is an advantage-- No education? No direction talking.

If you're new to my subscription and wondering what is a "Sunday Email", it's an email full of my rants, personal tips and opinions on marketing especially in the "internet marketing" niche. Sometimes, opinions on life. Whatever it is... it'll give you value after spending time reading it. To make sure you won’t miss any future issue, subscriber for free at www.sundayemail.com

You know-- sometimes my Sunday Emails can be harshed. Cuts through like a ninja's blade. But come on, they're my rants. If I want to keep everyone happy and write about the colorful rainbow, birds chirping, flowers blooming, etc then I should just opens up a nursery home and take care of children.

So if you can relate to what I wrote when reading it-- good because I know it had just served the purpose of helping people.

One more thing-- it'll offend marketers. I hope you're not the one.

Education is an advantage-- No education? It's talking crap.

There are so many directions going on online, no wonder most people get a mix of ideas. With the right internet marketing education, that person will be on his way to riches. With no education, that person is talking crap.

What do you understand of the term, 'e-community'?

I'm sure there are a lot of people who like to have their own e-community. But if you dig a level deeper and them what IS an e-community that they'd like to establish, most are clueless. They'll probably give you an answer like, "You know, a site like Myspace.com."

That's what I mean of no direction talking.

With buzzes going on, most people get the wrong ideas and don't want to miss out on whatever the latest hype (ahem, I mean trend) out there.

For instance, the person who wishes to set up the next MySpace.com, I'm not sure where he gets that kind of idea. Like I said, most people don't understand terms that are loosely being used. So even if you have a darn Myspace.com site, so what's next?

Are you going to have an e-community? No. You have a site. End of the story. By the way, Myspace.com type of site, it's a medium for creating an e-community platform which can be turned into an e-community. But this does not means IT IS an e-community unless you know how to 'structure' one.

Well, let me explain what an e-community is. And by the way, I could be wrong – some other marketers will probably define it other way. Besides, I don't claim myself as an e-community guru. See my point of a mix bag of ideas that create confusions?

An e-community is basically an online 'place' where common interest people hang out there. This 'place' is basically a site that can be in any sort of form but represents the first rule. Doesn't matter if they hang out because they're absorbing the site's content like ivillage.com or reading a blog.

e-Community is almost everywhere – since long time ago but it wasn't being brought out as a dialogue in the internet marketing world. Fortune 500 companies have been using them – Google, Intel, health companies and so on. They create communities. They HAVE communities. If you're involved with stock trading and financial stuff, you would be aware of www.fool.com. That site creates an e-community of it's own but it doesn't have a Mypace.com thingy. People 'hang out' there. By the way, this is not a course about e-community and I'm not creating any so don't prompt me for questions because it can never be answered on a single blog post.

And besides, some cheap marketers (who I know) will 'steal' my content here, remove my name and publish on their blog with their 'personal touch' to impress their readers with this new content anyway. How I know? Easy, my subscribers tell me - it's ain't a big world in the internet marketing niche, you know. I hope these copycat marketers get a lot of questions.

"I want to create a membership site and generate passive income each month."

Sounds familiar?

So now, ask him what he understands about a membership site. He'll probably tell you, "You know, a membership site is where customers pay each month to access the monthly content on a site."

I mean, I get this question all the time about Niche Marketing 2.0 ™ System:

"Does your system allow me to create a membership site?"

Well, it really depends what you define a 'membership site' is, isn't it? Any sites including blogs CAN have a membership site model depending on how you want it to be.

Here's the thing – a membership site is none other than a username and password for the user. If it's a paid membership, then yeah, you generate income each month.

To me, a membership site is simply an 'income generator' (if it's a paid one) and nothing fancier. That's it. I don't care how you want to setup your content. Heck, you might not even have a site for a membership site! The 'content' could be sending out 2 emails a month that include some sort of information that the subscribers want to pay for.

Or it could be a blog that they pay to read the content you post there.

Who knows what kind of crazy idea you have that people are willing to pay for each month.

Do you see where I'm getting? Without the right education, you'll be more confused everyday with fancy terms being thrown left and right.

And the worst is, that person THINKS he knows what he doesn't, like wanting to setup a membership site or an e-community without knowing what it is. Or no business model.

That is today's rant. Hope you enjoyed, otherwise, you would have wasted 10 minutes of your time reading on Sunday.

If you have been reading the "Sunday Email" series, I'll always ask for your favor to leave a Comment if you find value of what you've read. It'll be most appreciated because I read all of them personally. (smile)

And yeah, sometimes it upsets the reader because the truth can be... hurtful.

Sunday Email Part 26

If you're new to my subscription and wondering what is a "Sunday Email", it's an email full of my rants, personal tips and opinions on marketing especially in the "internet marketing" niche. Sometimes, opinions on life. Whatever it is... it'll give you value after spending time reading it. To make sure you won’t miss any future issue, subscriber for free at www.sundayemail.com

You know-- sometimes my Sunday Emails can be harshed. Cuts through like a ninja's blade. But come on, they're my rants. If I want to keep everyone happy and write about the colorful rainbow, birds chirping, flowers blooming, etc then I should just opens up a nursery home and take care of children.

So if you can relate to what I wrote when reading it-- good because I know it had just served the purpose of helping people.

One more thing-- it'll offend marketers. I hope you're not the one.

Two Different World But Perceived As The Same

There are two types of internet marketers, no right or wrong.

The first one is those who teach you how be like them-- selling internet marketing products to internet marketers. Let's call a marketer by the name of A without addressing to anyone in particular. Here's an example--

He makes money by selling a course teaching someone how to make money online. Then after learning from that course, that someone will sell ANOTHER internet marketing course to another person and it's an endless loop. It doesn't matter whether A or that someone actually understant internet marketing or not. It's not important because the fact is, money's being generated.

Here's a common example – An 'internet marketer' buys a bunch of resale rights products and bundle them for $7 a package. He'll make money by selling it because the package has become 'irresistible'. But is that REALLY internet marketing?

Is there a problem with this way of making money online? Of course not. They ARE making money online so it's 'internet marketing'. But if you learn that kind of methods, you'll have a hard time trying to sell your product online unless you're doing the same stuff. It's because, these 'internet marketers' only are able to generate income as long as they have their lists and a network of joint venture partners. Remove these 2 elements and they're out of the game. Real internet marketers can make money in any niche markets because they use strategies.

No wonder a lot of newbies are getting confused with internet marketing because everyone is now 'qualified' to teach internet marketing.

You see, the tactics may not be always applicable. Like, the Adwords tactic of using the course's name as keyword to bid. It'll work for internet marketing courses but if you're doing this same tactic for an ebook called, 'How To Train Your Puppy A Week", chances are, no one search for that at all. But I could be wrong. So try it out yourself.

On top of that, there could be some misleading information leaking out when it comes to testimonials. Say A teaches B how to make money online. So now B creates another course teaching others how to make money online. And A helps to promote it to A's list because B's his customer. Dude. There are no cutting edge strategies here. But if A helped B to build an online business in a niche market where his strategies are applied (not promotion) to generate income, hat's off to A.

At the same, do you know HOW SMALL is this market when there are so many people trying to get a piece of the action?

It's pretty obvious that I'll still sell courses that teach how to become internet marketers by teaching others how to make money online because it's so darn lucrative. I'm not asking you not to. I'm just ranting what is going on.

Then there's another type of marketer that teach people how to make money online -- by using real techniques.

Doesn't matter whether it's selling ink cartridges online or an ebook teaching people how to stop divorce.

I would prefer to create and sell programs like these because I know my clients will achieve success easier and they'll be able to continue making money each month. This is using strategies – not because of short term '2-dollar sale' or one-time Joint Venture promotion.

Like when I have a new discovery that I'm using for myself, I'll see how I can offer that to the market as well. Like, I've started creating web 2.0 content sites in niche markets to build a solid long-term business. That's how Niche Marketing 2.0 ™ System was created and now, 200 clients have prior to this technology and concept. This system will allow the owners to create an internet business that can attract free traffic from the search engines and generate 10 fold income.

You can still own the system by using this special link, www.nichemarketing2.com/earlybirds.html. Only 10 system ownerships left.

The "Secret" To Autopilot Income?

As far as I can remember, I've read that Aweber has 30,000 paid subscribers. If each pays a minimum of $19.95 a month, that's $598,500 sales revenue a month. Half a million like clockwork.

Clickbank.com last year's revenue was $300 million.

If you ask me, that's a lot of money.

Most people are still stuck with the mindset of writing another 'internet marketing course' to sell online. I think it's common you'll hear an idea of how a newbie wants to create an internet marketing course for newbies because he honestly thinks that the market needs that. And you know what - whoever who teaches this newbie will say it's a good idea because the marketer doesn't wants to crush his dream. I mean, who wants to be the bad guy?

Why would a newbie wants to buy from a newbie when he can buy newbie internet marketing courses from successful internet marketers like Mike Filsaime, Yanik Silver, Jim Edwards, Shawn Casey, Ewen Chia, Stephen Pierce, Armand Morin, Jo Han Mok, Adam Ginsberg, Matt Bacak, Bryan Kumar, Frank Kern, David Vallierres, Tom Hua, Allen Says, Ed Dale and a loooong list to go.

I'm sure there's a valid reason. My point? Why bother to achieve success with obstacles when there are so many opportunities out there that do not have such big challenges. Like going into a niche market with no gurus around. Or setting up an eBay Store selling some gizmos that people at eBay.com want.

Going back to Aweber and Clickbank. What do you see them in common?

They provide service. Call it membership if you want to, but I'll call them 'services' because they don't need to offer new content or product each month.

Solid business. To say the least, I'm amazed. Smart marketers are doing these right now. If you look carefully, these are the same marketers who use to sell ebooks or courses but they have now 'upgrade' themselves. Smart move. The guy who's still teaching and doing the old internet marketing stuff, better do something.

Let's say a marketer makes $50,000 on autopilot with a service.

Do you know many copies of an ebook you got to sell each month to make that same amount on clockwork?

For a $50 ebook, you got to sell 1,000 copies. As of today, I don't have a friend who sells 1,000 copies of an ebook each month without fail.

So instead of thinking of writing another ebook that the market probably don't need it anyway, why not think of what service you can offer to the market and build a long term business? And you're definitely not limited to internet marketing niche.

Of course it's easier said than done. But hey, who say you cannot do this?

For instance, Traffic Geyser is an excellent example of this concept. By the way, if you do submit videos to YouTube.com and so on, I highly recommend you to signup this useful service now by clicking here. Wait. if you're not submitting any videos, I URGE YOU TO START DOING THAT because it's a new source of free traffic.

If you have been reading the "Sunday Email" series, I'll always ask for your favor to leave a Comment if you find value of what you've read. It'll be most appreciated because I read all of them personally. (smile)

And yeah, sometimes it upsets the reader because the truth can be... hurtful.

The Top 7 Ways On How Writing Articles Can Grow Your Business

In today's highly competitive internet marketing game, attracting highly targeted traffic to your website is the no. 1's priority. And getting a high search engine ranking can be very difficult. Fortunately, there is plethora of website promotion strategies you can use to drive traffic to your website.

There is a wide variety of strategies you can adapt, from paid advertising to pay-per-click. However, most of these techniques require payment. Nevertheless, there are ways to promote your website and increase your web traffic without spending anything.

Writing articles is one of the best web site promotion strategies you can use, and they can be very effective. So how can writing articles help improve your web traffic and grow your business?

Here are the top seven ways:

1.Reach more people

When you write good articles, it will be shared with other people. You can post your articles in your website or you can submit them to other sites such as e-zines and online publishers. By submitting your articles to these sites, you give exposure not only to your ideas but also to your website. Simply include a link back to your site or include your information in the resource box.

At the same time, you get exposure and free advertising as well. Submit your articles to popular e-zines and take advantage of their popularity. Other sites who find your article relevant may also link back to you. Another good way to reach more people. Remember that most people are looking for information online and by filling this need with your quality article; you may reap the benefit of more exposure and higher web traffic.

2. Preselling your product

Although you should avoid sales pitch in your articles and make it informative and useful to your readers, you can always include your site's link in the resource box. In addition, by making your article relevant and helpful to your readers, it can ultimately lead to getting a sale. Good quality content in an article is far better and more effective than a few lines of ad space. You have a very special opportunity to presell your product or service to your prospective customer.

3.Gain High Search Engine Ranking

Create a new web page for your article in your website. Optimize your article to make it search-engine friendly. Use top-ranked keywords and Meta tags that can give your website a high search engine ranking. As soon as you upload your new webpage to your server, search engines can spider through it and you can gain an increase in search engine ranking. Remember that search engine optimized content is a very effective strategy to gain a high ranking in search results.

4.Increases Link Popularity

Instead of looking for other sites who would want to establish reciprocal links with your site, you can simply submit an article to other sites. When these websites pick up and publishes your article, you automatically get a site linking to your site -- a link partner. Try to get as many link partners as you can. Link popularity is one of the factors used by search engines in determining search engine rankings. Make your article especially useful and appealing, so that more websites will be encouraged to publish it.

5.Optimizes your site for improved search engine ranking

By making your site keyword rich, you can greatly improve the search engine ranking of your site. Remember that keyword density is one of the most important factors that search engines use when determining the search engine ranking of site for relevancy. At the same time, quality is important to be consider when writing articles because real readers are reading them.

6. Establishes a Good Impression and Reputation

By writing excellent, original and relevant articles, you not only give your site exposure, you are also creating a good impression on your prospects. Encourage more people to visit your site and do business with you by establishing an impressive reputation through your articles. Be seen as an expert in the field and your will ultimately gain more customers eager to do business with you.

7.Enhances your credibility through references and testimonials

Certainly, your articles are going to receive feedbacks and testimonials when you publish them in e-zines and free article sites. Record these positive feedbacks and comments and use them as promotional material in your website or in any of your advertising efforts. This is how I've gained tons of testimonials for my Sunday Email Newsletter.

Your credibility will be greatly enhanced by these feedbacks, as it will create a good impression on your prospects as well as your existing customers. In this highly competitive world, excellent credibility and trust may be the only things you need to attract new customers or make loyal ones out of your existing customers. Original, relevant, useful and pertinent articles are important tools you should utilize to improve and explode your business.

Are you involved in the internet marketing niche?

Well, I have a confession to make. I didn't write this article. I copied and edited it a little bit to fit in with my own personality and idea. Then I put my name on it and claim to be the author WITHOUT violating any rights. You see, previously, I've bought the Million Dollar Network Package from Jo Han Mok at www.milliondollarpromos.com which has already ended.

When I saw it, I grabbed it instantly because it's one of the best resale rights packages I've ever bought, period. But the main thing that gotten my attention was his irresistible deal – private label rights of the content of his blog, www.internetmillionairecode.com. That's over 2,200 blog posts and growing. And the article that you've read was from http://internetmillionairecode.com/article-marketing/writing-articles-business-article-marketing/.

If you have this rights like I do, you can go ahead to copy the content and start 'creating' your own content each week and the readers will think that you're the author.

I mean, if an article costs $3, that's a value of $6,600. That's not even counting the value of the resale rights for the other 6 profitable products of his that have generated over a million in total revenue.

The only problem is, the offer is no longer available.

However, seeing that this is such a great package, I've gotten Jo Han to agree for me to extend it to you, if you want. You can now get the Million Dollar Network Resale Rights Package like I did by using the special link below. But it'll be available for the first 3 clients only:

How To Increase Conversion Instantly

Some people hate it on websites— say it's annoying.

I'm talking about "pop ups", one of the most powerful 'invention' I've seen to increase profit on the internet.

If you're a marketer, I highly recommend that you use it even though some of your visitors won't like it. But I'll get to that later-- I'll tell you the techniques on how not to make it 'annoying' for them.

First of all, it helps on increasing conversion, guaranteed. Here are two ideas to use it for that purpose:

1. Pre-sell your selling points to your visitors

Is there any "USP" you have or special offer that you're doing which you want your visitors to know when reading your salesletter? Create a "Stick It" popup so that it gets their attention and aware of the message you're trying to send across.



Stick It Pop Up Sample

Let's say you know that the majority of your prospects did not buy your product is because of the money back guarantee issue-- then have the message below in front of them before they read your salesletter:

-----------------------------------------------

"Hey-- Just So You Know, Widget X Comes With A Full 90 Days, 100% No-Question Asked Money Back Guarantee. This Way, You’re Risk Free To Try Today."

-----------------------------------------------

Or if you're running a price discount promotion:

-----------------------------------------------

"Today's Your Lucky Day! I'm Having A 50% Discount For Widget X Until 25th March So Now's The Best Time For You To Try. Click Here."

-----------------------------------------------

Even if you're not doing anything special, you can simply increase your conversion by including certain 'note' that you want your visitors to read. The Stick It Pop Up can even be used to display a testimonial of your product. Or stating how many bonuses you’re offering with the purchase of Widget X today.

2. Second chance offer

Another useful method is to include an "Exit PopUp" to counter offer your visitors if they did not buy your product.

Create a better offer for them.

Offer free trial.

Installment plan.

Added bonus.

Discounted price.

Or whatever special deal you can.

Trust me, you'll get a few more additional sales that you would have lost without putting up an exit pop up. Besides, this is effortlessly done.

Use PopUp to Build Your Mailing List

When you get a visitor to read your salesletter, do you attempt to get him to subscribe to your list? If you’re not, then it's time for you to change your business model- NOW!

Let's say you can get 3% of the visitors to buy your product after reading the salesletter. So what about 97 of the other visitors? By not having them to subscribe to your list, you are literally cutting off potential customers to do business with you.

When doing this, don't use the outdated style pop up. Not only that it'll probably be blocked instantly, it’s not even 'cool' or 'attractive' for the visitor to look at.

What you need to use is 'flyover popup'. This is the type of pop up that 'floats' in and it's unblockable. Some software will also have the feature to make it 'shake' when it appears on your salesletter to grab instant attention.

How To Make Your Pop Ups Not Annoying

It's annoying if the message of the pop up is not beneficial to the visitor. Let me illustrate an example... if I'm browsing a website about real estate and suddenly there's a popup asking me to play online casino games-- it'll sure be annoying because I have no interest to gamble online at that time.

But on the other hand, if a pop up appeared and gives me 12-month free newsletter on how to buy real estate, it'll catch my attention because that’s the information I was seeking.

In a nutshell, if your message is good news or gives advantage for your visitors (especially free stuff), I don't see why they will complain.

Secondly, don't use the lame outdated pop ups! Use flyover ads, entrance pop up, etc – impress your website visitors! For instance, if your online business is in niche marketing, I'm sure most of the visitors have never seen a 'peel ad' pop up. Or a popup that streams video. Wouldn't that be cool.

Lastly, create pop ups that work. It can't get more irritating then having malfunction popups that 'freeze' their computer. Or a popup that cannot be exited-- they can't read anything else on your salesletter because the popup is blocking everything!

Instant Pop Over Software has been referred by many users how it's one of the best popup software that has hit the market, period. I'm personally experiencing it.

When you visit this blog earlier, did you notice there was a 'stick it' pop up? That was created by Instant Pop Over. And I use the software on many of my other websites. I like it and it helps me to make more money without driving any extra traffic.

You see, I'm offering an extra 55% discount for 3 days. The only reason why I did this is because Matt Callen (the guy who created the software) did such arrangement with Mike Mograbi of Imnewswatch.com. So I want to extend the same deal to you so that you don’t have to pay extra. I don't want you to feel that I'm unfair or something. But after the 3 days, price will go back to normal.

And also, I'll throw in a bonus if you're the first 20 who grabs it. You'll get another type of 'exit popup' that's 100% unblockable. Plug this in and I bet you'll see higher conversion. To see this poweful script in action, just to go
http://11principlesofbanabu.com/complete.html and exit. A message will prompt up for a counter offer. Works like charm and you'll get it for free... only for the first 20 today.

Increase your conversion and build a mailing list now with Instant Pop Over Software at:

http://www.popup.automateinternetmarketing.com

Remember—55% only last for 3 days from today.

You "Chan" Do It!

Sunday Email Part 25

If you're new to my subscription and wondering what is a "Sunday Email", it's an email full of my rants, personal tips and opinions on marketing especially in the "internet marketing" niche. Sometimes, opinions on life. Whatever it is... it'll give you value after spending time reading it. To make sure you won’t miss any future issue, subscriber for free at www.sundayemail.com

You know-- sometimes my Sunday Emails can be harshed. Cuts through like a ninja's blade. But come on, they're my rants. If I want to keep everyone happy and write about the colorful rainbow, birds chirping, flowers blooming, etc then I should just opens up a nursery home and take care of children.

So if you can relate to what I wrote when reading it-- good because I know it had just served the purpose of helping people.

One more thing-- it'll offend marketers. I hope you're not the one.

Big Dreams

It's good to have big dreams. Books have been written on the topic of thinking big.

Everybody likes that.

I too want to have my own MySpace.com or generate 20 million USD a year for my internet businesses.

It's hard for me to answer a question from someone who just bought a $97 product and has a 'big dream', and happened to be new to this internet marketing game at the same time. Question like...

"I have this product I want to sell on the internet. Now I know there's a huge market for it because my 'competitor' generated 10 million USD last year and I've researched the keyword 'keyword ABC' shows 143,000 searches a month."

You see, being ignorant is fun WHEN you don't need to take responsibility for reality.

First thing first-- if David D' Angelo's DoubleYourDating.com generated over $20 million a year in the dating niche, would that means you'll make $20 million a year too?

Hhm.

Do a reality check.

Having big dreams is good but having a practical big dream would be better.

No wonder there are so many people whining why this whole internet marketing stuff won't work and it's just a big scam-- because they know nothing about internet marketing and yet expect to do what David D'Angelo does after spending $47 or $97. Isn't that insane?

Guess what- that's the reality we're living in... in the internet marketing niche.

So if you're in this niche, buckle up coz the ride's just going to get wilder.

If you're a customer reading this, you have your own role to play as well. If you get a value or two from whatever course you've bought, then be happy with it and use what you've learn to achieve what you want to achieve. Well, some customers reading this piece of advice won't like to hear that because they expect their dream to come true. So go read other internet marketing blogs that will write WHAT YOU WANT to read because I can't care less to sugar coat the darn truth.

I think it's time to ramble about how I overcome obstacles. I whined. I complained. But I never asked for refund or try to take advantage of another marketer's product. Even if the product could not do what it's suppose to do, I'll find a solution after my grumpy complains. Yeah, I'm human. I complain too. You see, as long as I learn something new that I know will make me more money than what I've paid for, I'm good to go.

And besides, I think I'm not thinking long-term if I'm going to ask a refund for a $47 product. Don't get me wrong-- If the product is a pile of BS, then you SHOULD ask one right away. But if you have gotten the value, don't. Here's why... if you take advantage of other marketers, it'll come back to you in one form or another. Others will take advantage of you in the future. Sounds crazy... they call this "Law of Attraction".

Secondly, why would you want to risk a relationship for the sake of $47? Dude, you would probably spend that money in somewhere else anyway.

Let's role play here-- You got this cool product that you absolutely know that you're overdelivering and selling below the price. How? God knows, this is roleplay. Just stick to the game so that I can elaborate a point to you.

A customer named A bought one from you. After 5 days, he asked for a refund because he says that your stuff doesn't work. And you know that's a stupid lie or excuse just to scam your product for free because it'll take at least 10 days to see result.

Customer B gets great value from your product and he knows the value gained is already worth more than what he had paid you but insisted on a refund because he's getting not enough value.

What sort of impression you have on A and B? I'm sure it's not positive. You now know why I don't ask refunds if it's not neccessary?

By doing that, A and B have just eliminated their chance to build a relationship with you.

If they ask you questions to learn more for free, I doubt you'll answer them because they're not your valuable customers.

If you got a new product release and they want to buy, you might not want to sell them anymore.

And the worse is-- if they ever want to do JV with you, I don't think they will be in your 'to be considered' JV list at all. I mean, you'll never know how the future's going to turn out.

So do you see how damaging it can get for asking $47 refund?

Again, that's why I don't ask a refund if the product's okay. It's not not worth the business risk.


So You Want To Make Big Bucks In Internet Marketing Niche?

First rule stick-- don't ask for refunds from other internet marketers unless you really need to. It's just bad for your reputation because you'll never know that one day, you might want to do a joint venture with him.

Secondly, understand that time plays a huge role to build recognition and relationship. In the IM niche, it's about who you know. I know it doesn't sound pleasant, but heck, it's a reality. I wouldn't be able to sell 200 copies of Niche Marketing 2.0 ™ System at $997 if it wasn;t from these A-list gurus below as my JV Partners:

Shawn Casey, Jo Han Mok, Ewen Chia, Matt Bacak, Henry Gold, Dustin Struckman, Jeremy Gislason, Fabian Lim, John Delavera, Mike Mograbi and others.

"Gee, Patric. If this is true, why are you telling me because it's not helping me to reach my goal."

Well, if you think small, then it's not going to help you reach your goal, bucko. It's ironic- earlier, I told you not to think big but now I'm asking you to think big.

The difference here is, this is something possible- with time and relationship. Of course, with a super cool product to go along with it. But thinking big of having your own social network site so that you can sell it off for 50 million dollars one day or owning a site like espn.com would be a little bit far reach, unless you truly know what you're doing and you have the resources to pull that kind of stunt.

So if you want to earn big bucks in the IM niche, do the right thing and be patience.

This is not a lone ranger business. Other than time as the key factor, one of the utmost skill is to build a strong network with the influencers of the market. This zoom down to learning joint ventures. Go read ebooks about it if you have to. Attend seminars to mingle around. Whatever. Just rememmber that doing JV's is the 'secret' to make big bucks online quickly.


"Anything Else Other Than Your Rants, Patric?"

Actually, there is.

You've heard about running memberships to generate recurring income each month and how great it is as an income generator. If it is not true, why are you seeing so many membership offers in the internet marketing niche lately?

And it isn't as difficult as you think it is.

But the best way to generate huge income is by cultivating a list of members that are responsive to buy. They should be since they pay you each month and anxious to hear your latest message.

However, the real power that I've seen with membership business model is it's attractive to get JV partners to promote rather than a one time commission product. Especially in the internet marketing niche, getting JV partners is getting more and more difficult because there are so many product launches each week. They are torn apart on which product they should promote since they only have one bullet.

The best way to learn about creating a membership to make money online from A-Z is to join The Membership Millionaires for free at www.themembershipmillionaires.com.

If you have been reading the "Sunday Email" series, I'll always ask for your favor to leave a Comment if you find value of what you've read. It'll be most appreciated because I read all of them personally. (smile)

And yeah, sometimes it upsets the reader because the truth can be... hurtful.
